The Report of the Coal Committee, relative to the allegations made before the Common Council by Mr. BRADFIELD, was presented to the Court yesterday, and we need hardly say that it fully answered our ex• pectations. Relief from such a Committee was not expected, but it was expected that all the par ties accused by Mr. BRADFIELD would be ac quitted of blame, or eulogized for their excellent arrangements, and that on Mr. BRADFIELD alone would fall the whole of their censure, and Such is the substance of the Report. The Court of Aldermen is acquitted, and the coal trade is praised because they had lately appointed ten additional weighers, thogh, according to Mr. BECKWITH, the foreman of the Coff2mittee, there were already more weighers than work. The Committee did not deem themselves justified in making any inquiry relative to the admission of colliers into the pool, because that was 'beyond their sphere, and belonged to another body of Corporators called the " Navigation and Port COlll mittee ;" but this body, nevertheless, Mr. BECKWITH Could not pass by without praise, and accordingly pronounced their arrangements " perfectly satisfactory." Of course they are all honourable men, and make the best possible regulations for the good of the public. Nay, the very shipowners, who suffer by delay in the discharge of their vessels, are made to say this does not enhance the price of coals, though according to Mr. DYER, their representative on the occasion, it puts them to additional expense. In other words, though they can make only ten voyages instead of fifteen, the freight is not thereby raised. This is carrying the white-washing system farther than pru dence dictates - ; but, nevertheless, the public will be lieve this absurdity as readily as they believe that the Court of Aldermen have no power to put an end to the . " tricks," and the injurious " combinations and conspiracies" of those who extort from the inhabitants of London fully 150,0001. a year. If this is true, the Court of Aldermen have power only to do evil. By their means the tax is imposed—they have the appointment of Coal Committees, Port Com mittees, Navigation Committees, and other Commit tees, who play into one another's hands, but unfortunately they have no power to redress one grievance. Mr. STANNEN could not adduce a better argument for Corporation Reform ; and as he is well acquainted with the mode of appointing these City Committees, and could point out what interest the different members have in throwing dust in the eyes of the public, we would recommend this subject for the consideration of the Society at its meeting next Thurs day. In another part of our Paper will be found the Prospectus of an Institution for the temporary retire ment of persons in the upper walks of life, who may have been visited with that greatest of all calamities— mental aberration. No one, we think, can cast his eye over this Prospectus, without perceiving that the new Institution is founded on principles which have never yet found their way into retreats for the insane, namely, the principles of humanity and common sense. Such establishments have hitherto been conducted as if they had been in tended to prevent, rather than to promote, the restora tion of reason, and, in the generality of cases, this is, and must be, the effect produced. The whole ma chinery of the present system is so calculated to bring about this dreadful result, that we are almost justified :in saying that the law seems to have conspired with the cupidity of individuals, if not to make men mad, at least to keep them so. Some of those who have had the best possible opportunities of judging from experi ence, confess that "it is not the interest of the proprietor of a private asylum to cure his patients." When we find such a sentence of condemnation of the existing system as this assertion implies pronounced by no less an authority than Sir WILLIAM ELLIS, and Dr. CorroLLY's testimony is to the same effect, it is surely high time that the treatment of insanity should undergo, not a slight alteration, but a complete revo lution. In adverting to the institution at Denham-park, w e beg to direct the attention of our readers to those features of the new establishment, with which we have ourselves been particularly struck. In the first place, it is not the property of a medical man, but is under 'the immediate superintendanc e of a Committee of Proprietors, the medical resident not only having no interest in the continuance of the pa tients in the Institution, but receiving a premium for every patient who is restored to society. By this means, interest and duty, instead of being at variance, go hand in hand. Again, the facilities afforded for visiting the inmate s cannot be too highly appreciated. The names of the Royal Patron, and of the Vice-Patrons, who have un limited access to the Institution, are a guarantee that no one will be allowed to remain under its roof longer than is absolutely necessary, and that no abuse —no deviation from the established regulations will be per mitted. The friends of the patients as well as their usual medical attendants are also allowed to see them, without any restraint, or any of those previous pre parations which are customary at other establishments. The classification of the patients is another point of the very greatest importance, which is here duly at tended to. The person who is under the influence of raving madness is not associated with him whose reason is but slightly obscured. For each class of in valids there is a separate mansion ; while for those who are capable of enjoying recreation a variety of amusing occupations are provided, the tendency of which is to promote recovery by gently beguiling the disordered mind from the habitual contemplation of those ideas on which it is apt to dwell. On the whole, this Establishment seems to us to realize all that can be expected, or even wished, in the treatment of insane persons. To use the language of the Prospectus, the Proprietors have set " an ex ample of a more attentive, benign, social, active, and effective system of treatment for persons afflicted with mental diseases, than has hitherto been adopted." To have done this, is a subject of congratulation in a public point of view, while it redounds greatly to the honour of those enlightened and humane persons who have accomplished it. All Protestants are deeply indebted to the Times for the manner in which it has of late drawn attention to the priestcraft of the Roman Catholic Clergy. Its exposure of the discipline of the Jesuits a few days ago was admirable, and its condemnation of their ne farious object of getting all men and all things under their feet, was not more severe than deserved. If our Contemporary would only direct his sharp vision to our own country and our times, he would find, we think, almost as much to condemn in the conduct of our own Clergy as in the conduct of the Jesuits. For example, Dr. CHALMERS, a rigid Presbyterian, for the mere purpose of giving power to the Priesthood, though they be those of a Church completely different in doctrine and discipline from his own, insists on planting a paid Clergyman and providing him with a Church among every two thousand persons, and directs that Clergyman to worm himself into the affections of the people, to mingle in their business, to preside at their most important engagements, and gain over them, by working on their hopes and fears, as well as ministering to their material enjoyments, a lasting and overwhelming influence. In what such a scheme differs in its aims from the gigantic ambition of the Jesuits, we are too dull to perceive. Nor are the means by which it is to be accomplished so dissimilar, from those employed by the Jesuits, as might at first sight appear. They sought wealth and power by trampling moral obligations under foot; and when our Clergy insist on taxing the people to build Churches, or incarcerating them if they do not attend Church ; when they appropriate to themselves, their families, and friends, the revenues destined for the education of the people,—in what do they differ from the Jesuits ? A case illustrative of their con tempt of moral obligation, and the contempt of the same obligation with which they have inspired the Legislature—which, let us assert, shows this contempt in a very marked manner by tolerating a single oppression by the priesthood, whether it be by Ecclesiastical Courts, or any other means, of the people whom the Legislature exists but to protect and defend —a case illustrative of the contempt rwith which both the clergy and Legislature under their influence treat moral obligation, has just been brought under our notice. What moral obligation, for example, is stronger than that trustees of property should devote every far thing of that to the uses to which it was devised or destined ? Yet when that moral obligation stands in the way of the clergy, see how they disregard it. By the third of Geo. IV., one of the Acts for building Churches, it is made lawful " For any Corporation, or for any trustees, guardians, commissioners, or other persons having the controul, care, or management of any hospitals, schools, charitable founda tions, or other public institutions, by any conveyance, signed by or under the seal of such Corporation, to convey any hereditaments ; and, if they be copyhold, with the consent of the Lord, to enfranchise the same, to be used as sites for churches or chapels, or for en larging the same, or for parsonages or residences for ecclesi astical persons ; and all such conveyances shall be made to the commissioners, or to whom they shall appoint, to be used for the purposes of the Act; and such grants may be made with out any valuable consideration, and all such conveyances shall be effectual, and all such grantors are hereby indemnified." Now the effect of this law is to allow Companies or Corporations, those for example, of the City of London, to make over property placed in their trust for civil, or secular, or charitable purposes, treating with contempt the obligations imposed on those trus tees. We understand that some of the Companies have acted on this clause, and without any valuable consideration, have alienated for ever to the Church land that was placed in their hands for totally different purposes. We may take the opportunity to remind our readers of the investigation into the lunacy of Mr. DAVENPORT, several months ago, when it came out in evidence, that more than one great Churchman had been employing some true jesuitical arts to enrich the Church at the expense of that gentleman's family. We affirm then, that neither the ends contemplated by our priesthood, nor the means they employ to obtain them, differ in any sensible manner from the ends and the means of the Jesuits, which the Times a few days ago so eloquently reprehended. History informs us that the whole scheme of our present Church government—the division of the land into parishes—the appropriatio n of tithes to th e Clergy —the hierarchy of Priests , C urates, Vicars, Rectors, Archdeacons, Deans, Bishops, and Archbistops, rising one above another—with the whole power of the priesthood centering in one or a few leaders, including Ecclesiastical Courts—with the greater part, of the Church service, and of the doctrines and discipline of the Church, are all derived from or are merely a continuation of the former doctrines, disci pline, and government of the Roman Catholic Church, which our ultra Protestants so vehemently and conti nually condemn. Is it not strange that rational, clever, and thinking men, men who have followed the better way, for before they were bought or bribed, they taught us that we " had too much Church," should blame the Church of Rome so bitterly, and should at the same time so strenuously advocate extending the power of the English Church, which differs in nothing but in name from that of Rome ? It would be passing strange did we not know the dirty cause. It happens that the Church is closely allied with one political party and opposed to the other. To extend the Church and to plant Parsons amongst the people, is to foster and encourage Toryism. So to rescuscitate a decaying and worn-out system of political tyranny, public writers of great and acknowledged reputation are selling the land to priestcraft, and striving with all their power again to reduce the people under the yoke of a quasi Romish priesthood. We give in another place an abridged account o the meeting at Llanelly, to subscribe for the payment of the fine levied, in the shape of costs, on Mr. ' JAmEs, he being a Dissenter, for absenting himself from the parish church of Llanelly. As Mr. REEs said, the Vicar has drawn the picture of a Church Establishment in vivid colours, and has done more to make it hateful to the people than all the arguments, however eloquent, of the Dissenters. He is quite cor rect ; men are not to be taught by words but facts, and no declamation would have the smallest effect against the Church, were its clergy not, as a body, rapacious, extortionate, negligent, and ungosliy. A Correspondent has I. n sent us a Worcester C'hronide of March Bth, 1838, in there is a remark of Mr. Baron ALDERsOI4 than is so pertinent to the case of Mary WooLFR E y that ro a n_ n , de o o f c the Learned di rect the Mtention of the Learned Baron , deem it right to Judoes of the Ecclesiastical Court , a in general to it. A man of the nail, of of f th tl e CHARLES public Rn La name se GOODMAN was provoked by another man fight him. of EDWARD HILL, on January 27 th, to Iho THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1838. After much provocation GOODMAN struck HILL, who was intoxicated, who fell from the blow, and died. GOODMAN was found guilty of manslaughter, but re commended to mercy. " Prisoner," concluded the Learned Judge, in passing sentence, " the sentence of the Court is, that you be imprisoned for one week solitary. Let me entreat you to retire into the re cesses of your heart, to meditate on this awful warning, and to pray not only that your rash hand may be with held from future broils, but also for the soul of the un happy man whom you have hurried totally unprepared into the presence of Almighty GOD." Will the Rey, Mr. BREEKS, or any zealot of the Establish ment cite the Learned Baron into the Arches Court for this public denial of the Canons of the Church, and public acknowledgment of the Roman Catholic doctrine of purgatory ? Is the Learned Judge a Roman Catholic in disguise ? The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all been received. They barely refrain from eulogising the recent attempt of the rebels in the Canadas to assert by force the independence of the provinces. This i s to us a matter of very little moment except, in so far as it demonstrates the value of the regard which th e French Press professes to entertain for the maintenance of the national greatness of England. We must and do, however, make allow'ances for the prevalence of that sympathy which it is natural the French should feel for the descendants of a people who were their coun trymen, and who continue to speak their language, to cherish their institutions, and to profess their religion. The presence of Marshal CLAUSEL in Africa is likely to be productive of intrigues and rivalries detri mental to the interests of the colonists. As a Marshal of the Empire, he looks down upon the gallant bearer of a baton conferred by the Citizen King ; while the remembrance of its being , won under the cannon of Constantina—where he sus tained so signal a defeat—is gall and wormwood to him. To make matters worse, Marshal VALLEE and himself personally dislike each other, so that already the army is divided into factions, the superior offi cers declaring for VALLEE, and the subalterns for CLAUSEL. Of political gossip the little there is in these Papers will be found in our extracts from them. Madrid Journals to the 28th ult. have been re ceived. In our extracts from them will be found the list of a new Cabinet, which is reported to have re ceived the promised support of an overwhelming ma jority in both Chambers. Several other lists were in circulation, and no person pretended to foresee the cur rent of events for twenty-four hOurs in advance of the present moment. The Address was still under discus sion. We may sum up the news from the provinces by saying that they are in a state of social disorganiza tion. LLOYD'S SHIT'T'ING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, DEC. 6.—Wind W.

We are glad to learn from the Staffordshire Examiner that the electors of Walsall. to the number of 130, gave their independent Member, Mr. Finch, a dinner on Monday, at which Mr. George Wynn and other electors of Wolver hampton w ere present. The brotherly union was intended to strengthen the Liberal interest in both boroughs, and accomplishing its object, it passed off with great eclat. Mr. Finch, in describing his own conduct during the last Ses sion, passed a severe censure on the conduct and language of the Ministers. Their majority of twenty-nine was not, he said, in all cases to be depended on, and he cautioned the electors of Walsall to look forward to the possibility of the Whigs being defeated, when a dissolution will be the inevitable result. Other boroughs may look forward in time to such an occurrence, as well as Walsall. Opi nions strongly favourable to the Extension of the Suf rage, the Ballot, Triennial Parliaments, and the Aboli— tion of the Corn-laws, were expressed by most of the speakers, and vehemently cheered. The same kind of difference, however, exists as elsewhere amongst the Radicals, some preferring the Extension of the Suffrage, and others the abolition of the Corn-laws, as the object for which the Radicals ought first to strive. The latter Mr. Wynn described as a manifold grievan ce , and properly declared that to abolish the Corn -laws w ould be to strike at the back-bone of Toryism. We are glad to find public men speaking out boldly, and a few more meet ings like that of Walsall will give an irresistible impetus to public opinion. The Rev. Mr. M‘Keen having, in the course of his speech recommended the establisloinent of a Mechanics' Institution, Mr. Finch immediately offered 1001. for that object, and thus as Mr. NPKeen said, laid the first stone of such an institution. While the Liberals then boldly pursue reform they study to improve the people and make them more worthy of freedom. That must be a noble cause which both increases the liberties and adds to the dignity of man. The Earl and Countess of Harewood will see much company at their hospitable mansion, Harewood Hall, dur ing the Christmas holidays. _ _ Part of the Earl of Durham's household arrived in Cleveland-row yesterday. The Noble Earl is expected to reach town this evening. We hear that the Earl of Durham will make but a short stay in town, and then proceed to Lambton Castle. The Earl and Countess of Mansfield will remain at the Palace at Scone until April. Viscount Stormont still resides in the neighbourhood. The Countess's neices, the Misses Markham, have been in town for some time, resid ing at Langham House, Portland-place ; on Alondav they left for their villa at Sevenoaks. The Hon. Captain * David Murray, the Earl's nephew, arrived in town yesterday.

SUPPOSED CASE OF POISONING BY MISTAKE.— An inquest was held yesterday at Isleworth, on the body of Susannah Pines, the wife of a labouring man, whose death was alleged to have arisen from taking some improper me dicine. It appeared that deceased, who had been ailing, received some medicine from the diatriet plrg erni, of Wh i c h she was told by a written label to take " two table-spoons ful thop times a-day." At eight o'clock on F r id ay l ast s h e took the first dose, and in about ten minutes afterwards complained of viotenC t i a i as j 4 ;,)",p heart and sickness. She got worse and died, foaming at the stornaeh, i, tt P r bout an hour 4fter taking the medicine. The poor woman insisted that the pcdipirip had poisoned her. The inquiry was, after a long investigatifin, adjorrned, that the body might be opened, and the remainde'i Of t the xpekiipip apalysed. The husband and daughter of deceased swore that ile label was to the effect stated above, but it was now missing. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. By the arrival of her Majesty's brig Hope, with a mail from Halifax, Papers hale been received at the North and South American Coffee-house up to the 18th ultimo, from Prince Edward's Island, to the 14th ; St. John's, New Brunswick, to the 11 th ; and Miramichi to the 7th ; but they do not contain any news of importance, or any later additional news from Canada. We extract the following from the St. John's Paper : MOVEMENT OF THE TROOPS.—Thd steamer, Maid of the Weet, started with part of the 63d on board, and the Nova Scotia followed with the remainder of the Regiment. They will be conveyed from the beach to Sheldiac, where they will emb ark for Quebec. His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor has issued a proclamation stating that the Legislature of the Province is to meet on the 15th January for the dispatch ofbusiness. The arrivals this morning from the Continent consist of one French and one Flanders mail, but they do not bring any news of importance. The advance which took place in the Dutch Funds at Amsterdam on the 3d has not been maintained, as the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have receded to 53 15-16, and the Fives to 100 i. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 6.—The demand for Cotton to-day has again been extensive. The sales are 9,000 bales, for the most part American descriptions, at Monday's rates ; 1,600 taken on speculation. THE FUNDS. ✓ Consols opened at the closing quotation of last night -931 ; but, up to the present time, no business has been done. In the Foreign there is very little business doing, and the Stocks are generally flat.

Great disappointment was manifested this morning among the merchants and all parties connected with America and the Canadas, by the non-arrival of the Great Western steam-ship from New York, which place she was advertised to leave on the 22d ult. ; but as she is not in this morning, it is the general opinion that she did not leave before the 24th or 26th. If such is the case, she will not be in for a day or two.

TIMEE O'CLOCK Consols for the Account, Aq A Hampshire Paper announced the other day that 70, 000/. " had been recovered from the wreck of the Lady Charlotte, sunk on the west coast of Ireland for the benefit of the underwriters." One cannot help thinking that to sink the Lady Charlotte in ten fathoms water on the west coast of Ireland was a very odd thing to do " for the be nefit" of the underwriters • But Ireland is so veer a place that even its coast is the scene of much queerer things than happen anywhere else. The cool dry manner in which the Hampshire Paper relates this odd occurrence in ten fathoms water Shows a more than English aptitude fPY pleasantrz. CHANCERY coußT._crms DAY.) JUDGMENT.-RAWSON V. SAMUEL. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued before his Lordship on Wed nesday last, upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, enlarging the time for showing cause for dissolving an injunction restraining the defendant from proceeding at law. His Lordship, after going through the facts of the case, and stating the authorities on the subject, stated that he thought he should best consult the interest of all parties by permitting the order of the Court below to stand. IN THE MATTER OF TAYLOR, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. - . The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the argu ments in this case yesterday, desired it to stand over till to day, in order to enable the parties to see if they could not come to some arrangement. The object of the application was for a commission against an old man named Taylor. Mr. WIGRAM this morning stated, that on the part of the petitioner he was instructed to ask for his Lordship's judgment on the facts of the case. The LORD CHANCELLOR was clearly of opinion, looking at all the evidence that had been adduced, particularly that of Dr. Southey, that he should not be justified in taking upon himself the responsibility of withholding the evidence and circumstances of the case from that investi gation which the law had provided. Such being his im pression, he should direct the Commission to issue, the carriage of it to be entrusted to the son of the supposed lunatic. EYRE V. MARSDEN. The Court then proceeded with this part-heard appeal. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His HONOUR the VICE-CHANCELLOR took short causes and unopposed petitions to-day. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the ROLLS again took motions to-day. His Lordship observed yesterday that ke had found it a great inconvenience to allow motions to stand over, for parties went on filing affidavits up to the very day on which the motion was made, and to an extent that was really frightful. GEENLAW V. KING. Mr. PEMBERTON in this case yesterday moved on behalf of the plaintiff that Archdeacon Walker King, the defe idant, might be ordered to leave with the clerk in Court certain deeds and documents admitted by him in his answer to be in his possession. It appears the suit was instituted by the Rector of Woolwich, against Archdeacon King, the son of the late Bishop of Rochester, to have it declared that a certain security was either void or satisfied. The transac tion was this, that for the purpose of raising monies under an Act of Parliament, to improve the Rectory House at Woolwich, an annuity on the authority of that Act, was to be granted under the superintendence, and with the consent of the Bishop of Rochester. The an nuity was granted to a nominee of the Bishop himself, and the Bishop himself advanced the money. During the incum bency which then existed this transaction was not completed, but upon a new Incumbent being appointed, the present bill was filed to impeach that transaction. As to some of the papers, for the production, of which the present motion was made, there was no dispute. The dispute arose on two classes of documents. It appeared the Bishop of Roches ter, who had procured the annuity to be granted to his own nominee, about the year 1820, had a correspondence with Mr. Leigh, his solicitor, with reference to the the validity of the transaction, and a case was drawn up for the opinion of Counsel. In the year 1823 he caused the annuity which was vested in his own nominee as trustee, to be transferred to the defendant, who therefore from the year 1823 by gift of the Bishop was the owner of the annuity. The Bishop died in 1827. The correspon dence which was conducted between the Bishop and his solicitor, and the case laid before counsel, by some means or other not explained, got into the possession of the present defendant, and it was in respect of those docu ments so in his possession that one part of the question arose. The other documents which were the subject of dis cussion consisted of a correspondence that had taken place since the dispute arose between the defendant and the so licitor of the late Bishop, but who was not the solicitor of the defendant. The objection raised to their production was, that they were confidential communications which ought to be protected from discovery. Mr. RICHARDS and Mr. HEBERDEN were this morning heard in opposition to the motion, and Mr. PEMBERTON having replied, Lord LANGDALE delivered judgment. There could be no doubt the general rule of the Court was, that the plaintiff had a right to know whatever the defendant knew with regard to the matter in question, and that was the object of discovery in this case. The defendant, by filing a cross bill, had a right to know every thing which the plaintiff knew in relation to the matters in question, and which might be material to the defence of the defendant. Tee great distinction between Courts of Equity and other Courts was this, that in Courts of Equity you could apply to the conscience of the party, and obtain by that means information that could not be ob tained except by the examination of witnesses, and to ex tend the protection to discovering further than was necessary would cripple the jurisdiction of this Court in the most important particular. There were exceptions to the general rule for discovery. One exception was communicating what might have arisen from the confidential relation of the parties. A solicitor might not be bound to disclose certain matters of fact which had came to his knowledge in the character of solicitor, and yet the client might be bound to disclose those same facts. It had been sufficiently decided that if the knowledge of the client was obtained by means of the solicitor there might be :a protection in that case. In this case the knowledge obtained by the defendant, had not come to him through his solicitor. Those documents first mentioned must therefore be produced. With respect to the others, they were communications which had taken place between the defendant and Mr. Lee, not in the cha racter of solicitor ; and it could not be said that a commu nication made to a mere friend was of such a confidential nature, that it ought not to be disclosed. On the whole, his Lordship was of opinion there must he a production of those papers that consisted of the correspondence between Mr. Lee and the Bishop in the lifetime of the Bishop in 1820 ; and also a production of those papers that consisted of a correspondence between the defendant himself and Mr. Lee, as agent, and not as solicitor. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) LEWIS V. rONSFORD. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL (with whom was Mr. MARTIN) stated the case. It was an action for a very extraordinary outrage committed in the house of the plaintiff, Miss Barbara Lewis. The defendant, John Ponsford, was married to a German lady, and in consequence of differences between them a deed of separation was drawn up, by which the defendant was to return the sum received at his marriage, 3501., pictures valued at 2501, and that she was to go and reside with her friends in Germany. The deed was prepared on the 19th December, 1837, and Mrs. Ponsford went to reside at Miss Lewis's, a board and lodging-house, 51, Manchester street, Manchester-square. The inclemency of the weather, and the stoppage of the navigation of the river, having prevented Mrs. Ponsford from leaving London for Germany. On Monday, the 19th February, the defendant, Mr. Ponsford, came to Miss Lewis's house, about eight o'clock in the morning, forced his way into the bed-room where Miss Lewis and Mrs. Ponsford were in bed, and conducted himself in a very improper and indecent manner, refusing to leave the room, and creating much disturbance and noise. He had three men with him also, whom he brought up stairs and on the landing outside the bed-room door. He refused to leave the house unless his wife went with him. There was no property of his there, but her wearing apparel and a dressing-case. She refused to go with him alleging that she had been treated with great cruelty, but he still con tinued to conduct himself with great impropriety. Two or three policemen came in, and a great crowd was collected out side. At length, after the noise and confusion had continued for several hours, application was obliged to be made to the Magistrates to have him removed. It was alleged that the house was not the property of Miss Lewis, but of her mother ; he, however, would satisfy the Jury that the house did belong to Miss Lewis, and that she acted as its mistress. He would prove also that the defendant did not come to claim his wife, but some property of his, which he fancied his wife had with her. The following witnesses were then called : Jane Good lived with the plaintiff as servant in February last. On the morning of the 19th of February a gentlemen came to the house between eight and nine o'clock. Mrs. Ponsford had been living there for some time. He brought a note for Mrs. Ponsford, and said he would wait for an an swer. Witness took it up to the bed room. Mrs. Ponsford and Miss Lewis were in bed at the time. They slept toge ther. When witness was leaving the room she found plaintiff outside, and he insisted on going into the room and forced his way. Captain Barnes, a lodger, who slept in the front room, desired witness to go for a policeman, and a messenger was sent for one. When witness went up stairs again she found three men on the landing outside the bed-room, It was on the second floor, There was great noise and confusion in the house, and Mr. Ponsford remained in the house till between two and three o'clock in the day. Witness went up to dress Mrs. Ponsford, but she would not be dressed, Cross-examined by Mr. Timslona—l was hired by mi ss Lewis. Miss Lewis and Mrs. Ponsford went out a the house together about three o'clock, and Miss ticuls returned about six o'clock. I understood they %viva,l to Dr. Lomax's, in Dorset-street.

There was a crowd of fr c l t he to 200 people outside the house. I saw Mr. Ponsford drawing-room. Mrs. Ponsford, Miss Lewis, her metb, e A r ' g ild two gentlemen were present. Miss Lewis said she svemu;ith Mr. Ponsford in charge for forcibly entering her house t i,et three other men. Mr. Ponsford said an inspector and, ° ore policemen had been there before, but would not take blot custody. He refused to leave the house without Mrs• b a ll, ford, and she at length consented. When they got to they Mrs. Ponsford disappeared, he did not know how. Mr' 'air ford immediately said—" Where's my wife."-----(Great lB-9 ,0 ter.) He looked out in a back window which was open' s s t immediately went round with one of his men to a nle a o ol it to 0 the rear of the house.
